| book description |

In the past, Columbia Law School produced leaders like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Now it produces window-smashing activists. When protestors at Columbia broke into a build-ing and created illegal encampments, the student-led Columbia Law Review demanded that finals be canceled because of ""distress."" Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect oppo-nents. Now those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. Rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will soon: Be America's judges, DAs, and prosecutors File and fight constitutional lawsuits Advise Fortune 500 companies Hire other left-wing diversity candidates to staff law firms and government offices Run for higher office with an agenda of only enforcing laws that suit left-wing whims In Lawless, Ilya Shapiro explains how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty--it's institu-tional weakness. Shapiro met the mob firsthand when he posted a controversial tweet that led to calls for his firing from Georgetown Law. A four-month investi-gation eventually cleared him on a technicality but declared that if he offended anyone in the future, he'd create a ""hostile educational environment"" and be sub-ject to the inquisition again. Unable to do the job he was hired for, he resigned. This cannot continue. In Lawless, Shapiro reveals how the illib-eral takeover of legal education is transforming our country. Unless we stop it now, the consequences will be with us for decades.
